Smart Cities Mission

The correct answer is: AMRUT.

AMRUT stands for Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation. It is a flagship urban renewal and infrastructure development program of the Government of India. The program was launched in June 2015 with an aim to improve the quality of life of citizens in 500 cities across India.

The program focuses on providing basic infrastructure and services such as water supply, sewerage, drainage, roads, and electricity to urban areas. It also aims to improve the quality of air and water, and to promote sustainable development.

AMRUT has been implemented in three phases. The first phase (2015-2017) focused on preparing city-specific plans and mobilizing resources. The second phase (2017-2020) focused on implementing the city-specific plans and achieving physical and financial targets. The third phase (2020-2025) focuses on sustaining the gains made in the first two phases and scaling up the program to cover more cities.

AMRUT has been successful in improving the quality of life of citizens in the cities covered by the program. It has also helped to improve the urban infrastructure and services in these cities.
